The Association
Welcome to the North Queensland Potters Association

Our aim is to promote pottery throughout North QLD and act as a catalyst for the pottery community in the region. Our studio at 15 Flowers St., Railway Estate, is well-equipped and provides a creative environment where members and students pottery skills are nurtured.
